BiteOscope, an open platform to study mosquito biting behavior

eLife, 2020
Female mosquitoes need a blood meal to reproduce, and in obtaining this essential nutrient they transmit deadly pathogens. Although crucial for the spread of mosquito-borne diseases, blood feeding remains poorly understood due to technological ...

Impact of transposable elements on the genome of the urban malaria vector Anopheles coluzzii

, 2020
V1.[Background] Anopheles coluzzii is one of the primary vectors of human malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Recently, it has colonized the main cities of Central Africa threatening vector control programs. The adaptation of An.

Intense malarial transmission during the dry season in irrigated rice-growing areas: a case study in Sakassou, Côte d'Ivoire

Journal of Water and Health
The health district of Sakassou is one of the 83 health districts in Côte d'Ivoire, located in a zone with very high malarial transmission rates, with an incidence rate of ≥40% Therefore, to guide vector control methods more effectively, it was crucial ...

Characterization of Chemosensory Responses on the Labellum of the Malaria Vector Mosquito, Anopheles coluzzii [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2018
AbstractAnopheles gambiae coluzzii (An. coluzzii) uses olfaction to modulate a range of critical behaviors that are essential for survival and reproduction; most notably, host preference and selection underlie its vectorial capacity for human malaria. As is the case for all mosquitoes, An.

Living on the edge : a longitudinal study of Anopheles funestus in an isolated area of Mozambique [PDF]

, 2013
Understanding the survival strategies of malaria vectors at the edges of their distribution, where they are under stress from environmental conditions, may lead to the development of novel control techniques and may help predict the effects of climate ...

The contribution of dietary restriction to extended longevity in the malaria vector Anopheles coluzzii [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Variation in longevity has long been of interest in vector biology because of its implication in disease transmission through vectorial capacity. Recent studies suggest that Anopheles coluzzii adults persist during the ~7 month dry season via aestivation.

Organophosphate and carbamate susceptibility profiling of Anopheles gambiae sl. across different ecosystems in southern Benin [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

Wellcome Open Research
Background To overcome the spread of high pyrethroid resistance in the main malaria vectors and malaria disease persistence, it is crucial to look for effective and better resistance management strategies.

Relationship between the L1014F mutation in the kdr gene and the endophagic and exophagic behaviors of Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles gambiae in Benin

Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology
Background The increasing resistance exhibited by Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles coluzzii to insecticides represents a major challenge for malaria vector control strategies. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the L1014F mutation in
